MANUFACTURING/MACHINING TECHNOLOGY

Machining Technology is the heart of manufacturing things. Machinists, Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Machine Tool Operators and Programmers, and Manufacturing Production Technicians set up and operate a variety of machine tools to produce precision parts and instruments. Dual enrollment opportunities are available through Tennessee College of Applied Technology.

 

MACHINING I (ACCTC) – Single Block; One Semester; One Credit; 9th – 10th  Grades; Prerequisites and/or Requirements: None.
This course focuses on the essential principles that must be mastered for a person to be effective in manufacturing production work. The course is intended for students more interested in production than engineering. The course covers customers, quality principles and processes, systems, information in the workplace, the business of manufacturing, and statistical process control. This course is contextual by design. It connects what is being learned to the learner’s current experience, past knowledge, and future conduct. Dual Enrollment opportunity offered for Freshmen through Seniors with TCAT.

MACHINING II (ACCTC) - Double Block; One Semester; Two Credits; Designed for 10th –  11th  Grades; Prerequisites and/or Requirements: Machining I (Machining Core). This course focuses on the concepts and practices that support careers in manufacturing, industrial maintenance, metrology, automation, industrial design, and industrial support. The course introduces the technology of machining and manufacturing processes. While working as team members, students will apply leadership and organizational skills relating to designing, producing, and maintaining a product. Emphasis is placed on quality control, codes and standards, and production systems. The course is contextual by design. The course connects what is being learned to the learner’s current experience, past knowledge, and future conduct. Laboratory exercises provide active and cooperative learning opportunities. Dual enrollment opportunity offered for Freshmen through Seniors with TCAT.

MACHINING III (ACCTC) - Double Block; One Semester; Two Credits; Designed for 11th – 12th  Grades; Prerequisites: Machining I and Machining II (Formerly Machining Core and Machining I). This course is for students interested in entering the workforce or pursuing higher education in the manufacturing area. The course requires students to solve problems in a real-world manufacturing context. Problems address critical areas identified by industry and supported by relevant national standards. This course is structured as a series of simulation units. The simulations require students to identify problems in a manufacturing company based on data supplied in typical management reports. Students work in teams of four to six. Teams test and refine proposed solutions with computer simulations. All teams work on the same problem concurrently. At the end of each unit, students present team findings and recommendations to the class and to a panel of manufacturing industry representatives, which acts as the board of directors. Snap On Precision Tool Certification offered through course completion. Dual enrollment opportunity offered for Freshmen through Seniors with TCAT.

WORK BASED LEARNING: Students who have completed 2-4 credits in Machining may be eligible to earn course credit and gain real world work experience through WBL.
